The status of the matrix $X^TAY+Y^TAX$ if the matrix $A$ is positive definite

Say that the matrix $A$ is positive definite and the matrices $X$ and $Y$ are not necessarily PD or PSD or even symmetric. Under what conditions the matrix $X^TAY+Y^TAX$ is PD, PSD, and neither? All matrices here are square.
